Both include private bathrooms, flat-screen cable TVs, air conditioning and city views. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the property, and each room has a balcony and a terrace.

Rooms

2 room types · 22–22 m²

The two room choices at PP Insula have the same 22 m² floor area and accommodate up to two people. Each comes with air conditioning, a private bathroom with a shower, a balcony, a terrace, a city view and a flat-screen television. Rather than differences in size or outlook, the layouts distinguish the rooms: the Double Room with Balcony has one large king-size bed, while the Standard Twin Room has two single beds.

A wardrobe, safety deposit box, refrigerator, electric kettle and clothes rack are among the other room facilities, alongside towels and a hairdryer. The city views and paired balcony-and-terrace features are shared by both options, so the main choice is between the double and twin bed arrangements.

At 22 m², this room pairs a single large king-size bed with a balcony and terrace overlooking the city.

A flat-screen TV, refrigerator and electric kettle round out its fittings.
